An experimental study was made on the collapse of a gas bubble attached to a solid wall by a shock wave. The collapse process of the bubble and the induced impact wall pressure were measured simultaneously by means of a high speed camera and a pressure transducer, respectively. Consequently, it was found that the impact wall pressure was very sensitive to the factors such as the bubble size, the strength of shock wave and the distance from the origin of shock wave to the gas bubble, and in some cases it became larger than that generated by a shock wave directly impinging on the solid wall without a gas bubble.

An experimental study concerning the shock wave—bubble interaction was conducted in order to obtain a unified consideration of the mechanism of the impulsive pressure generation induced by the cavitation bubble collapse. It was found that the relation between the maximum impulsive pressure, pG, max, and the relative distance, lc/Re, is closely similar to the known result obtained from a single spark-generated bubble, and that a gas bubble within the region of lc/Re ≤ 7 behaves as a source capable of generating more intensive impulsive pressure than the impact pressure induced by a shock wave impinging directly on a solid wall without the presence of a gas bubble.

To explore the deflagration possibility of the warship cabin filled with fuel oil under impact of high-speed fragments in the condition of room temperature, experiments were carried out employing the small aluminium oilcans filled with fuel oil. Response processes of the oilcans were observed with the help of a high-speed camera. The disintegration as well as flying scattering of the oilcans were analyzed. The reasons for atomization of the fuel oils were presented. Finally, the deflagration possibility of warship oil cabin was analyzed. Results show that the pressure inside the oilcan is quite great under the impact of the high-speed fragment, which makes the oilcan disintegration and flying scattering. Simultaneously, fuel oils inside the oilcans are atomized quickly followed by ejected in front and back directions. Under the same condition as in present tests, deflagration will not occur for fuel oils used by warships. Experimental results will provide valuable references for the deflagration analysis of warship fuel oil cabins subjected to the impact of high-velocity fragments.

This chapter introduces new approach of hypersonic flow generation and experimental study of hypersonic flows over cones with half- angles τ1 = 3◦ and τ2 = 12◦. Mach number of the of the incident flow was M1 = 18. Visualization of the flow structure was made by the schlieren method. Straight Foucault knife was located in the focal plane of the receiving part of a shadow device. Registration of shadow patterns was carried out using high- speed camera Photron Fastcam (300 000 fps) with an exposure time of 1 μs. The Mach number on the cone was calculated from inclination angle of shock wave in the shadowgraph.

The high-speed impingement of droplets on a wall occurs widely in nature and industry. However, there is limited research available on the physical mechanism of the complicated flow phenomena during impact. In this study, a simplified multi-component compressible two-phase fluid model, coupled with the phase-transition procedure, is employed to solve the two-phase hydrodynamics system for high-speed cylindrical droplet impaction on a solid wall. The threshold conditions of the thermodynamic parameters of the fluid are established to numerically model the initiation of phase transition. The inception of cavitation inside the high-speed cylindrical droplets impacting on the solid wall can thus be captured. The morphology and dynamic characteristics of the high-speed droplet impingement process are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively, after the mathematical models and numerical procedures are carefully verified and validated. It was found that a confined curved shock wave is generated when the high-speed cylindrical droplet impacts the wall and this shock wave is reflected by the curved droplet surface. A series of rarefaction waves focus at a position at a distance of one third of the droplet diameter away from the top pole due to the curved surface reflection. This focusing zone is identified as the cavity because the local liquid state satisfies the condition for the inception of cavitation. Moreover, the subsequent evolution of the cavitation zone is demonstrated and the effects of the impact speed, ranging from $50$ to $200~\text{m}~\text{s}^{-1}$ , on the deformation of the cylindrical droplet and the further evolution of the cavitation were studied. The focusing position, where the cavitation core is located, is independent of the initial impaction speed. However, the cavity zone is enlarged and the stronger collapsing wave is induced as the impaction speed increases.

AbstractThe interaction of a cylindrical converging shock wave with an initially perturbed gaseous interface is studied experimentally. The cylindrical converging shock is generated in an ordinary shock tube but with a specially designed test section, in which the incident planar shock wave is directly converted into a cylindrical one. Two kinds of typical initial interfaces involving gas bubble and gas cylinder are employed. A high-speed video camera combined with schlieren or planar Mie scattering photography is utilized to capture the evolution process of flow structures. The distribution of baroclinic vorticity on the interface induced by the cylindrical shock and the reflected shock from the center of convergence results in distinct phenomena. In the gas bubble case, the shock focusing and the jet formation are observed and the turbulent mixing of two fluids is promoted because of the gradually changed shock strength and complex shock structures in the converging part. In the gas cylinder case, a counter-rotating vortex pair is formed after the impact of the converging shock and its rotating direction may be changed when interacting with the reflected shock for a relatively long reflection distance. The variations of the interface displacements and structural dimensions with time are further measured. It is found that these quantities are different from those in the planar counterpart because of the shock curvature, the Mach number effect and the complex shock reflection within the converging shock tube test section. Therefore, the experiments reported here exhibit the great potential of this experimental method in study of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability induced by converging shock waves.

Recent developments in the production of technical flax fabrics allow the use of sustainable natural fibres to replace synthetic fibres in the manufacture of structural composite parts. Natural fibre reinforced biocomposites have been proven to satisfy design and structural integrity requirements but impact strength has been identified as one of their limitations. In this paper, hybridisation of the biocomposite with a metal layer has been investigated as a potential method to improve the impact resistance of natural fibre composites. The impact response of biocomposites made of flax-epoxy is investigated experimentally using a high velocity particle impactor. A high-speed camera setup was used to observe the rear surface of the plates during impact. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) of the high speed camera images was used for full-field strain measurement and to study the initiation and propagation of damage during the impact. The different modes of damage in the hybrid laminate were identified by postimpact analysis of the section of the damaged composite plate using optical microscopy. The study shows the difference in impact response for different material combinations and configurations. The hybrid construction was shown to improve the impact resistance of the flax composite.

Adhesion problem of marine organisms often becomes a problem, in the case of ship, marine floating construction and sluice gate of power plant. These make fluid resistance of a hull increase, cause a buoyancy fall, or cause reducing coolant etc. Although these are chiefly removed by manual operation now, immense expense and immense labors, such as personnel expenses and time and effort, are needed. We tried application of an underwater shock wave, in order to solve these problems. Interference of a shock wave and the mechanism of marine organisms exfoliation were explored using the explosive and PMMA plate, which imitated a marine organisms adhesion. The process of exfoliation of organisms from PMMA plate was observed by using of the high-speed camera.

Kick-up phenomenon during looping is an important factor in thermosonic wire bonding. In this study, the loping process during wire bonding was recorded by using high-speed camera, and wire profiles evolution was obtained from images sequence by image processing method. With a polynomial fitting, the wire loop profiling was described by the curvature changing, and kick-up phenomenon on gold wire was found between the instant of 290th frame(0.0537s) to 380th frame (0.0703s), the change of curvature is divided into three phases, a looping phase, a mutation phase and a kick-up phase. While in the kick-up phase, the kick up phenomenon is the most obvious. These experimental results were useful for in-depth study of kick-up phenomenon by simulation.

The mechanics of impact by a high-speed liquid jet onto a solid surface covered by a liquid layer is described. After the liquid jet contacts the liquid layer, a shock wave is generated, which moves toward the solid surface. The shock wave is followed by the liquid jet penetrating through the layer. The influence of the liquid layer on the side jetting and stress waves is studied. Damage sites on soda-lime glass, PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) and aluminium show the role of shear failure and cracking and provide evidence for analyzing the impact pressure on the wetted solids and the spatial pressure distribution. The liquid layer reduces the high edge impact pressures, which occur on dry targets. On wetted targets, the pressure is distributed more uniformly. Despite the cushioning effect of liquid layers, in some cases, a liquid can enhance material damage during impact due to penetration and stressing of surface cracks.
